I heard Jay Ungar play "Margaret Ann Robertson" in an online concert tonight, and he mentioned that there is a line in Ashokan Farewell that is very reminiscent of this tune. So I did a quick google search to try and learn the tune and found your rendition. Beautiful.
What a moving and heartfelt rendition of this truly beautiful melody. It may have been an unconscious inspiration for Ashokan Farewell, also inspired by Lochaber No More and Neil Gow’s Lament for the Death of his Second Wife.
@jayungar7121 hello Jay, I'd heard a fair while ago now, that the Ashokan Farewell was composed in a quiet moment after everyone had gone home following the Ashokan fiddle camp. I've absolutely no idea where I heard that but in the same anecdote it was said that the melody was inspired by Margaret Anne Robertson. Anyway, regardless , Ashokan Farewell is an absolute classic. I learned it by ear from the Ken Burns series about the Civil War within a week of hearing it. I met and played with Jacqueline Schwab a couple of years ago at the Pinewoods Scottish Country Dance Camp and meeting, spending time and playing with her was just wonderful. All the best Jay, Paul.

I would sooner say Margaret cromar is a very similar tune
